For our final project before the Christmas break, my Grade 7-9 students chose, from online reference images, any shiny holiday themed object to draw. The focus as to get a nice sharp highlight to showcase the object's shiny or reflective surface. Candy canes were obviously popular, but some students tried something a bit more challenging.
Students used laptops to search for images online.
Then they drew a contour drawing of their object on lilac construction paper.
If they were drawing a candy cane, they used a white oil pastel to draw a thick line of highlight
down the center of the object.
Then they coloured in the rest, using two similar values: one light and one darker, on the edges.
Finally, they cut it out and glued it onto black paper.
A lot of kids didn't manage to finish in time unfortunately but here are some that did!
